2 C I Modernization of Dallas Radio Network S Briefing to the Public Safety Committee November 1,
3 Purpose Discuss the current state of the City of Dallas Radio Network Federal Communications Commission (FCC) narrow band requirements. State of Texas Project 25 (P25) compliance Consolidated implementation roadmap for narrow banding and P25 standards. Review the November 10, 2010 Council Agenda Item on purchase of radios on FY10 Homeland Security Grants 2
4 Glossary Frequency is the location of a radio signal that contains desired information. Transmitter is an electronic device that sends a radio signal through an antenna. Receiver is an electronic device that receives a radio signal from an antenna. Analog is a process of taking audio (human voice) signals and translating them into electronic pulses called frequency modulation. The frequency modulation produces a continuous wave with the voice signal. 3
5 Glossary Digital - is a process of taking an audio signal and breaking it up into a binary format represented as 1 s and 0 s. For example, it s similar to the recent change in televisions from the old rabbit ear (analog) antennas to the cable box (digital). Narrowband Is taking the current wideband frequencies and creating new narrower frequencies in order to relieve congestion. For example, it s taking one large highway ( wideband ) and designating specific driving lanes, separating the different types of traffic which eliminates the congestion of one large lane. Project 25 (P25) - is a digital industry standard developed by Home Land Security to ensure radios made by different manufacturers communicate with each other; these radios are interoperable. 4
6 Current State of City s City Radio Network Over 40 years old radio network. The network consists of: 11,000 Radios 700 Receivers 400 Antennas 250 Transmitters 23 Towers Radio system is divided into two segments: Public Safety and DWU Other Civilian departments ** The difference between these two segments is that they are on two different frequencies. i.e., they can t talk to each other 5
7 City of Dallas Current Radio Network Dispatch Console Transmitter UHF 450 MHz Analog Radio System -DPD/DFR -DWU Receiver Transmitter Dispatch Console Receiver 800MHz. Analog Radio System - Non-Public Safety 6
8 Current State of City s City Radio Network City Radio System (Public Safety and Civilian): Wideband not narrowband Analog not digital Limited Interoperability Not P25 compliant 70% of City s radio equipment is currently not supported by the manufacturer; remaining equipment will no longer be supported after Coverage is inadequate Some areas have weak signal strength Poor coverage inside buildings exists throughout the City 7
9 Current State of City s City Radio Network Limited interoperability with surrounding first responders such as: Denton County Collin County Irving Arlington Fort Worth Contiguous Mutual Aid Cities Addison Balch Springs Carrollton Cedar Hill Cedar Hill Cockrell Hill Coppell DeSoto Duncanville Farmers Branch Garland Grand Prairie Highland Park Hutchins Irving Lancaster Mesquite Plano Richardson Seagoville University Park Wilmer 8
10 Federal Communications Commission Narrowband Requirements FCC Requirements Mandates that all public safety radio systems be narrow banded by January 1, Failure to comply with the narrowband January 1, 2013 deadline may result in the following: Substantial FCC fines Revocation of FCC wideband Licenses Wideband transmitters may overload narrowband receivers in adjacent municipalities. 9
11 Federal Communications Commission Narrowband Requirements The COD will achieve the FCC narrowband requirements by: Replacing handheld and mobile (in-vehicle) radios Public Safety radios 1000 DWU radios Note: DWU radios must be replaced because DWU is on the same segment of the radio network as DPD and DFR. Note: These radios will work with the current network as well as the future P25 network, regardless of the manufacturer. Reprogramming the radio network receivers and transmitters. 10
12 State of Texas P25 Compliance Program The State of Texas has set the goal that radio communications of all first responders be P25 compliant by January 1, 2015 Cities in Texas that have implemented/implementing the State s P25 goal: Austin.... Implemented McKinney..... Implemented Plano-Allen-Wiley.... Implemented Frisco.. Implemented Houston.... In Progress Waco.. In Progress Major Cities in Texas that have not started implementing the State s P25 goal: Dallas Fort Worth San Antonio El Paso 11
13 State of Texas P25 Compliance Program The COD will achieve the State of Texas P25 compliancy goal by: Replacing 4000 Non-Public Safety radios Note: The 7000 radios purchased to achieve the FCC narrow banding mandate do not have to be replaced. Replace all the Transmitters and Receivers Install new Antennas Modify 3 small towers and install one new tower Note: This will require a substantial capital investment. 12
14 Challenges The COD current radio equipment: The current is equipment old Transmitters Receivers Does not meet the FCC narrow band mandate. Is not P25 compliant. Currently 70% of the radio equipment is not supported and the other 30% will not be supported after Non supported radio equipment means: The manufacturer will not provide maintenance No new replacement parts will be made Search ebay and/or barter to replace any broken parts 13
15 Challenges Although the City will have new radios the Radio Network equipment will not be supported by the manufacturer after Planning, procuring the equipment timely and funding are crucial in meeting Federal and State requirements. 14
16 Narrow Banding and P25 Consolidated Implementation Roadmap 15
17 Narrow Banding and P25 Consolidated Implementation Roadmap Step 1 Start Narrow Banding Process Council Agenda Item to buy 2000 radios.. Nov 10, radios for the Super Bowl.... Jan handheld radios 35 radios installed on the motorcycles. Note: These radios are necessary to achieve interoperability during the Super Bowl with the other public safety municipalities, i.e. Arlington, Fort Worth Install 1150 mobile radios for narrow banding Dec 2011 Cost $8,729,329 16
18 Narrow Banding and P25 Consolidated Implementation Roadmap Step 2 Continue Narrow Banding Process: Procure and install an additional 5000 Radios. Nov 2011 Jun 2012 Reprogram transmitters and receivers..... Jul 2012 Dec 2012 Submit Narrow Band License Renewal to FCC... Dec 2012 Cost $21,498,191 Note: Radios purchased for narrow banding will work with the current system and the future digital system, regardless of the manufacturer. 17
19 Narrow Banding and P25 Consolidated Implementation Roadmap Step 3 -- Achieve P25 goal Council Agenda for hiring a consultant to develop P25 RFCSP.... Jan 2011 Hold Bond Election Nov 2012 Council Agenda award of P25 Project.... Nov 2012 P25 digital Network Implementation Public Safety. Dec 2012 Dec 2014 Non-Public Safety.. Oct 2013 Dec 2014 Estimated Cost $99,333,755 18
20 Funding Sources for the Roadmap The $27,064,450 Public Safety Grant funds over the next 3 years will pay for all the needed handheld and mobile radios. Note: This is a one time purchase because the radios work with the current system and any future digital system, regardless of the manufacturer. The new P25 Radio network cost of approximately $99,333,755 is a one time turnkey project and will require capital bonds or other funding sources. 19
21 Funding Sources State of Texas P25 Estimated Cost and Funding Source Step 1: Super Bowl and Narrow Banding Grants Bonds/Other Sources DWU Radios $ 8,729,329 Step 2: Continue Narrow Banding Radios $17,035,121 $3,163,070 Consulting Services $ 1,300,000 Step 3: P25 Public safety digital network $89,505, Non public safety radios $ 6,840,380 Non public safety digital network $ 2,987,500 Total Estimated Cost $27,064,450 $99,333,755 $3,163,070 20
